Oh sorry, in the childish liberal rush to be fair, California just twisted athletics into the most unfair way possible.
California Gov. Jerry Brown signed a controversial bill into law Monday afternoon allowing the state’s transgender public school students to choose which bathrooms they use and whether they participate in boy or girl sports.
What in the hell is fair about this?
Supporters say the law will help cut down on bullying against transgender students, The families of transgender students have been waging local battles with school districts around the country over what restrooms and locker rooms their children can use.
“Now, every transgender student in California will be able to get up in the morning knowing that when they go to school as their authentic self they will have the same fair chance at success as their classmates,” Masen Davis, Executive Director of Transgender Law Center said.
While California is the first state to pass a law of this magnitude, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Washington and Colorado have all adopted policies designed to protect transgendered pupils.
Ok not that dramatic but damn, how much can you distort the truth? From my blog buddy theFeral Irishman.
Two weeks of unusually warm weather in the North Pole have caused a lake to form in mid-July. The meltwater lake is approximately a foot-deep. According to the National Snow and Ice Data Center, temperatures in early July were 2 to 5 degrees Fahrenheit higher than average over most of the Arctic ocean. July is the Arctic’s melting month, when sea ice shrinks the fastest.
LINKto original news story, Oh CBS News, hmmm. FAST FORWARD A FEW WEEKS>……………………..
Well it seems like the AP has retracted their bogus claim:
The Associated Press issued a formal retraction of a photo it published that claimed to show that a large lake had formed at the North Pole due to global warming.
In its retraction, the AP admitted that not only was the “lake” simply a small melt-pond but that it was natural, not due to global warming. The AP also admitted that the “lake” wasn’t even at the North Pole, explaining that the monitoring station where the photo was taken had drifted hundreds of miles to the south.
LINK to retraction ……. Damn shame they have to cover their collective asses. Thanks to BUBBA for the leg work on this one.
The fact almost anything the Obama administration does seems scandalous and rife with cronyism and incompetence, this would not surprise me. But given the fact that it is against the law and shows that Obama is nothing more than a puppet, it’s kinda big news. And I would venture a guess, but I assume another impeachable offense.
IIranian-born Communist sympathizer Valerie Jarrett and Barack Obama’s Senior White House Adviser, from multiple sources, that just prior to the recent general election, issued a clear threat against the rank and file members of the American public who do not support Pres. Obama. Jarrett said“After we win this election, it is payback time. For those who supported us, there will be rewards, for the ones who opposed us, they will get what they deserve. There will be hell to pay. Congress won’t be a problem for us this time. With no election to worry about, we have two judges ready to go.”
Valerie Jarrett comes from a family which intermarried with the Bill Ayers family. Yes, that would be the Weathermen Underground terrorist leader, Bill Ayers.
This is the same Valerie Jarrett family which was also involved with Frank Davis the former head of the Communist Party in the United States.

We have had this special lady on before. She loves blaming others for failed union policies that are shutting down the school system in Chicago I can’t express my dislike for this obese, greedy, selfish union boss, and how thankful I am that I don’t live anywhere near Chicago.
On Wednesday, Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis placed the blame for Chicago’s failing schools right where it belongs: on “rich white people.” Speaking to a luncheon on education reform, Lewis said that Chicago is the most segregated city in America, and that the educational failures in certain areas of Chicago are attributable to the “fact that rich white people think they know what’s in the best interest of children of African-Americans and Latinos, no matter what the parents’ income or education level.” She added that there needs to be “an honest conversation about poverty and racism and inequality that hinders the delivery of an education product in our school system.”
Then she goes after the greedy banks.
Lewis said that minority neighborhoods need more funding, and blamed racism for lack of funding. “It’s as if there were a concerted effort to make sure that these are not walkable, thriving, healthy communities,” Lewis stated. And she blamed banks for driving people out of their homes in forecloseures. “If you look at the majority of the tax base for property taxes in Chicago, they’re mostly white, who don’t have a real interest in paying for the education of poor black and brown children,” said Lewis.
What she needs to understand is that white people are moving out of Chicago in droves, just like they did in Detroit, and her union negotiated teachers pensions, will begin breaking the bank. So instead of blaming whitey, take a good hard look at the union extortion tactics used against the city.
The average salary for Chicago teachers is $76,000 per year, making them the highest-paid teachers in America. The Chicago Teachers Union has also fought the shutdowns of failing public schools throughout the city.
I for one have had a gut full of this GOP smarmy bullshit. Time and again we watch as these asshats banter on about standing their ground and not caving into left wing democratic demands. Alas, the rats are swimming for higher ground. Time for the third party Tea Party to stand up and be counted.
Members of Congress have been on recess for only a few days, but it already seems the time away from Washington means more support for a pathway to citizenship among some Republicans.
In the past few days, two Republican members of the House of Representatives — Daniel Webster in Florida, Aaron Schock in Illinois — have expressed preliminary support for a way to legalize undocumented immigrants and allow them to eventually earn full citizenship. Even the House GOP whip, Kevin McCarthy (Calif.), announced support for legal status, although he stopped just short of supporting full citizenship.
I cannot shall not work with them, I do not like those nasty Dems!
Would you, could you, on a boat?

You let me be! I do not like them in a box. I do not like them with a fox. I will not ask them in a house. I do not like them with a mouse. I do not like them here or there. I do not like them ANYWHERE!
I do not like those nasty Dems!
I do not like them, Sam I Am.
You do not like them. SO you say. Try them! Try them! And you may. Try them and you may I say.
If you will let me be, I will try them. You will see.
Say! I seem to like those nasty Dems! I do!! I like them, in a jam! And I would join them in a boat! And I would trust them with a goat… And I will join them in the rain. And in the dark. And on a train. And in a car. And in a tree. They are so good so good you see!
So I will like them in a box. And I will trust them with a fox. And I will invite them in a house. And I will trust them with a mouse. And I will join them here and there. Say! I will join them ANHYWHERE!
I do so like those gracious Dems! Thank you! Thank you,

My apologies to Dr. Seuss and the destruction of his work.
THE PRESIDENT: If we don’t deepen our ports all along the Gulf — places like Charleston, South Carolina, or Savannah, Georgia, or Jacksonville, Florida — if we don’t do that, those ships are going to go someplace else. And we’ll lose jobs. Businesses won’t locate here.
Had to pile on. Even if he did not know where they were specifically I certainly would not be spouting off locations on national television. Dumbass.
\As if the racial division wasn’t strong enough, these people keep stoking the fires. Isn’t it time POTUS came out and said the trial is over, the verdict is in, get over it. If Zimmerman were found guilty do you think we would be climbing all over the media in protest? Remember the O.J. verdict, yeah, me too.
This son of a bitch killed Americans on a military base and they allow him to where a military uniform with a United States flag? He should be in a straight jacket with a gag. What is wrong with this country? It was bad enough a known terrorist act is called work force violence, but they allow this monster to where a uniform of the United States military? Heads would be rolling if I were in charge.
Another liberal eliteuseful idiot, backs public schools, won’t enroll his own kids in one.
Actor Matt Damon is a strong supporter of America’s public schools. Just two years ago, the star spoke passionately about the importance of public schools at a Washington DC “Save our Schools” rally. In fact, the actor is so impressed with public school teachers that he has demanded they receive a pay raise. That passion and conviction, however, does not apply to Damon’s own children who willnot be enrolled into the Los Angeles public school system.
In an interview with the Guardian published Saturday, Damon revealed that he had just moved to Los Angeles from New York, but that he didn’t “have a choice” when it came to putting his four daughters into private schools. The multi-millionaire did say that it was “a major moral dilemma” and then made the bizarre excuse that the public schools aren’t “progressive” enough.
This would probably mark the first time anyone has ever complained that America’s public schools, especially in Los Angeles, aren’t left-wing enough.
The Guardian interview is part of the 42 year-old actors promotional tour for his upcoming sci-fi tentpole “Elysium,” which opens Friday.
According to early reviews, “Elysium” is a big-budget action film that condemns a future Los Angeles where the super-rich use their wealth and privilege to separate themselves and their families from the city’s poor.
Nice, that kind of movie should pull the country together…assholes.
Here’s a thought. Instead of temporarily closing embassies across the middle east, shut them down permanently. What is to gain from having Americans constantly under threat of terrorists attack?
Shut ’em down, all of them that are in any country that has terrorist ties, (which would be about every country in the middle east and North Africa), and save a few bucks. I’ll bet you could even open up the White House for tours with the money saved. That would certainly annoy the king, pesky kids running amok through the great ones current residence, but I digress. Why do we need people over there anyway. If we need to spy on someone, I am sure the CIA,FBI, whoever have got plenty of operatives in country that can handle that task.
Shut ’em down and never re-open them. The thought that we need politicians in these countries is asinine. If an American finds himself in a country without an embassy, then he should figure out a way to get out himself. If he is there under direction of the military, then the military can take the heat to get him out.Not only are politicians at risk, but as we found with Benghazi, military personnel tasked with their safety are in harms way for no other reason than to guard a piece of real estate in a state where the majority of the populace wants them dead or gone….so go!
Diplomatic facilities in Abu Dhabi, Amman, Cairo, Riyadh, Dhahran, Jeddah, Doha, Dubai, Kuwait, Manama, Muscat, Sanaa, Tripoli, Antananarivo, Bujumbura, Djibouti, Khartoum, Kigali, and Port Louis are instructed to close for normal operations through Saturday, Aug. 10.
King said he believes al-Qaeda “is in many ways stronger than it was before 9/11 because it has mutated and it’s spread in dramatically different locations.” The terror network’s Yemen branch, known as al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, “is the most deadly of all the al-Qaeda affiliates,” King said.
Zarate, the former Deputy National Security Adviser to President George W. Bush, concurred with King’s assessment.“The problem is you’ve had the rise of the al-Qaeda affiliates, groups in Yemen, North Africa, East Africa,” Zarate said. “Those groups have taken up the strategic and operational mantle for al-Qaeda and the group in Yemen has been the most dangerous because they want to hit the United States.”
Even though Obungler said that Al-Qaeda is on the run, I would guess that from the state of affairs in the areas listed above, not only are they not on the run, they have gotten stronger. With all of that hatred towards our country the only American that should be around is one running a drone from thousands of miles away.
